Fresh bright strawberry nose. Acidity resembles effervescence. Holds the fruit well without overpowering. Agreed it parallels Gioia. Very tasty. — 9 years ago

Perfectly aged. Chateauneuf-Du-Pape. Was slight leaker - 1.25" below cork but still in great shape. Drink over couple years. Glad that we still have a magnum of it. Drank with Chip Dewing and my daughter, Gioia. It's one of her birthyear wines. — 9 years ago

Dark crimson red with pretty brilliancy, very dark blood-like. The elegance in this wine continues with its nose. Impressive bouquet of exotic aromas. Fine leather with plum scented shoe polish; all in appealing taste and harmony. Great length provides a long ride, ride from its sensational entrance, offering flavors of sour cherries. The long tannins offer a very polished experience; quite mature. Its acidity is also persistant, educated but mouth-watering, with clear plum flavor. Lots of plums slowly transform into flavors of milk chocolate, spices, and fine tobacco, providing incredible complexity and a long and delicious finish. Quite an amazing and sensational wine of long, elegant performance and complexity. 93 pts. — 11 years ago

Great value and change up from the French grape blends. The nose raisin & molasses- Armarrone like. Full taste of fresh sundried fruit - plums/dates/figs with a tad pit of smoke which completes a rich full end. — 13 years ago

En Magnum. A bit austere to start, high acid, minimal fruit. Needed food to shine and a good pair with homemade lasagna. Five hours later this has mellowed and become a nice after dinner sipper. — 10 years ago

4/5 il re della Serata! 0,27ha, 45 anni, 1300 bottiglie, lutte raisonée (presto biologico) acciaio e legno nuovo 60%, batonnage regolari, 13 mesi e un leggero filtraggio. Fiori di tiglio, camomilla, agrumi, foglia di the, leggere note ossidative e burrose, assolutamente armonico e sontuoso, pomposo e tagliente in continua evoluzione dove anche qui la retro domina la gioia percettiva. — 10 years ago

A Primitivo Riserva that is incredibly reminiscent of a reserve Amarone. Silky smooth and not too sweet. Highly recommended to all my friends in the mood for an Interesting Amarone like experience. — 11 years ago

Da vigne di 60 anni ottimo esempio di Primitivo di Manduria, peccato per l'alcolicità forse un po' eccessiva, 16 gradi mi par di ricordare! — 12 years ago
